Here is a story I wrote.

The hunt for captain black blades lost treasure (Intro)

Chapter 1

 

“ALLHANDS ON DECK!” shouted the captain.  His men ran around to their stations.  They had spotted a treasure ship heading to the isles of kings.  It was carrying a load of jewels and gold for the great smiths to craft into jewellery for the kings.  The captain would make a fortune off the loot, he had to get it.

 

The boat span around to be side on with the other ship. ”FIRE!” shouted the captain in his deep voice. In an array of bangs they opened fire on the vessel. “Board the ship”, the captain shouted grabbing his cutlass and prize gold pistol called Ruby.  They placed the boarding planks and swung across to the other boat on a rope. There was no guards on the boat which made the captain feel uneasy.  Usually these boats have a band of guards to protect them from attack. His men came out of the cargo hold with a chest of gold and jewels. The captain stood up but before he could speak a bullet blasted his hat off.  He turned to see where it can from but he saw nobody. “Look up!” shouted the first mate.  There was a whole band of guards in the rigging. 

 

“ATTACK” shouted the captain pulling out Ruby.  The guards jumped down and attacked.  They landed with a scream and the battle began.  They swung their swords and fired their guns.  Both sides took many casualties.  Then the captain saw three gunners in the crow’s nests.  He quickly in a split second span around and shot the first with Ruby. One of the other gunmen turned and shot at the Captain.  The captain dived for cover behind the mast.  The captain saw the other gunman up in the crow’s nest above him.  The captain began to climb up the nest.  When the captain reached the top of the mast he took a deep breath and jumped into the crow’s nest.  He grabbed the unsuspecting gunman’s gun and throw him off the edge.  He turned to face the last gunman and fired.  He hit the last gunman and smiled but the he looked down and saw he was bleeding, the gunman had hit him.  He stepped backwards in shock but he had forgotten he was in the crow’s nest. He fell out of the crow’s nest and as he was falling he saw the guards killing his last man.  He landed with a great thud. One of the guards gave him a kick and decided he was dead.  The captain had broken his legs but wasn’t dead yet. As the other guard were checking the other guards he crawled into the cargo hold.  He saw the gunpowder barrels and thought “If I can’t have the treasure nobody can”. In one more jump he grabbed a torch and landed on the barrels.
